parse-metadata slows down the computer
Last modified: 2007-05-11 20:04:29 UTC
parse-metadata slows down the computer immense. After starting the computer, which takes some time (800 MHz, 128 MB RAM), I am not yet able to use it. parse-metadata and other processes consume about 64 MB RAM for more than 5 minutes and a lot of cpu power. Thus, a Firefox start takes around 2-3 minutes and the system is very bulldogged. I have never seen such an unperformant package management, and this should be definitly optimized in later versions of OpenSuSE. I have the following repositories added: oss, non-oss, updates Other distributions' desktops react promt. OpenSuSE does also after the package processess are done processing everything.
martin , please search bugzilla the next time,. there are countless of bugs reports about this 8and is getting quite annoying), there are so many that I dunno what bug number should I use to makr your issue as duplicated.. there are probably more than 100.. anyway you can remove zenworks as it is not needed for yast to work. see http://opensuse-community.org/Package_Sources/10.2 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 255871 ***
sorry, will do next time. but as SuSE ships with zenworks by default, it should work more or less, right? :P Martin
Zenworks is a total train wreck. I hope OpenSUSE 10.3 drops it.
